What do you mean by Launch and capture edge? 

The launch edge is the active edge of the clock at which data is launched at flip-flop A’s output. In synchronous design, data generation, some computations, and data transfer are all completed in a single clock cycle. The memory components, specifically flip-flop A, transport data from the input pin to the output pin at the rising or falling edge of the clock. 

At the next active clock edge, the data and computational results at the input pin of flip-flop B are captured and the data is transferred to the output pin of flip-flop B. This is known as capture edge.

For timing analysis, what are the various paths that the designer considers?

The designer should take into account the following different sorts of paths.

• Data path
• Clock path
• Critical path
• Clock gating path
• Asynchronous path
• The worst and best path
• Capture and launch path
